So is this month’s newsletter: - Professional growth – how can performance support help? Mark Harrison and Steve Rayson explore With the regular market update and tools review to read too, it’s just as well it’s too cold to go outside and enjoy the glorious British springtime (readers in Australia, please stop gloating). Best, --------------------------------------------------- >> 1. Kineo insight: When learning becomes performance support With increasing discussion of informal and workflow learning, it’s time to look again at the practice of performance support and its role in supporting learners in the workplace. In this month’s briefing paper, Mark Harrison and Steve Rayson explore how performance support is different from traditional models, and share some tips on how to ensure your performance support is set up to actually improve people’s performance.

You know how it goes. We all want our e-learning designs and designers to be ‘creative’. We bemoan a lack of creativity in e-learning. But what do we mean by creativity in e-learning? Patrick Dunn, friend of Kineo and experienced e-learning designer, has conducted some great research into this topic and shares his thoughts with us: http://www.kineo.com/audio-downloads/patrick-dunn-interview.html Want your own podcast? Kineo’s Podcasting Services can help you communicate with learners in new ways, as we’ve done for Cable & Wireless and others.

This month we shift our attention to another from the server-based category: Learn eXact from Giunti Labs. Matt Fox got stuck into Giunti’s extensive suite of authoring and content tools. Read what he made of them here: http://www.kineo.com/rapid-e-learning/learn-exact---server-based-elearning-tool.html Want help in choosing the right authoring tool for you, and building your team’s capability? Kineo Rapid E-learning Consultancy team can help. Contact us at rapid@kineo.com for more. Ace e-learning market sleuth Steve Rayson never reveals his sources. Except when they’ve already revealed themselves, that is. This month he decided to look at the e-learning market from a different perspective, firing up the blog scanner to see what, and who, is driving the debate (and then drive it a little further, of course). Read this month’s update here. http://www.kineo.com/e-learning-market/e-learning-market-update-march-07-.html This includes a worthy mention of the E-Skills for Business report, “Towards Maturity”, which is a great piece of research on how the e-learning market is evolving. Hats off to Laura Overton and co for producing. ------------------------------------------------- We’re pleased to add two new E-learning Flatpacks to the Rapid E-learning Store this week: Absence Management Look out for additional Flatpacks on a wide range of key topics in the coming weeks.
